DTALiT! Staff Lead

Dr Joanna Bucknall

I Joined DTA as a Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Drama and Theatre  at the University of Birmingham in 2017.  I am a practice-based scholar whose research interests include immersive performance practices, augmented and mixed reality in performance, live art, practice-as-research, performance documentation and cognitive approaches to reception theory. I am the artistic director of Vertical Exchange Performance Collective, co-artistic director of KeepHouse Performance and an Associate Artist at the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth. 

I founded DTALiT! in 2019 in the hope of fostering community through creativity.
